16 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Psychedelic, POP: British Pop
Details:
"Sugarplum Fairies provide us with a sultry blend of low key, essentially indie, electric guitars and breathy, Nicoesque vocals. Silvia Ryder''s voice has a particular sophistication that, on paper at least, would be classed as idiosyncratic with this kind of music. Nevertheless, it works phenomenally well. This band really do deserve your respect and undivided attention." (Peoplesound UK)
Vienna-raised and California-based duo Silvia Ryder and Ben Bohm are the nucleus of Sugarplum Fairies (the supporting cast is ever-rotating). Their music is laced with surreal images that seem to be part dream diary, part coded messages and part cynical observations and Ryder''s breathy, hypnotic vocals evoke comparisons to the late chanteuse Nico of The Velvet Underground.
Since the release of their debut album "Flake" in 1998 the Sugarplum Fairies have gained exposure by receiving nationwide airplay at college and NPR stations.
For their sophomore release "Introspective Raincoat Student Music" the duo has teamed up with drummer Keith Mitchell of Mazzy Star, electric bassist Miiko Watanabe (Eggtooth, Holly Vincent, Tracy And The Hindenburg Ground Crew), upright bassist Warren Kaye (Loren Ellis) and keyboard player Louis Durra (Moris Tepper, The Mystery Band)
